What tradies say about AroFlo

AroFloClunky / outdated UI and unfixed legacy issues
“I currently use Aroflo, whilst it’s excellent, sometimes it has stupid and old functions which drive me crazy. I feel they are too busy making new features as opposed to fixing old issues”

AroFloMobile / field usability historically weak
“Used AroFlo about 5+years ago as an employee and it was pointless to use it on a phone, always just used it on the computer at the end of the day”

AroFloAccounting sync / integration limitations
“Yeah we use aroflo and the app is pretty good now. Still could be laid out a little better. They are doing heaps new things but not having direct api calls with xero having the integration page is ridiculous these days”
